HEY GUYS CRUISER1962 MY WIFE AND I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE VALOR CRUISE AND WE STAYED THE NIGHT IN MIAMI PROBABLY TWO MILES FROM THE BEACH AND ABOUT 5 MINUTES FROM THE PEIR. WE STAYED IN THE HYATT AND IT WAS A NICE HOTEL HOWEVER I RECOMMEND NOT EATING THERE BECAUSE IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE. I AM ALSO FROM THE MIDWEST DES MOINES, IA AND FOUND IT BETTER TO FLY IN THE NIGHT BEFORE BECAUSE YOUR BETTER RESTED THE DAY OF THE CRUISE GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!!!
